O mighty, powerful, strong one of Eridu,
O noble, exalted, first-born of Ea.
Just as the king’s title includes mention of the provinces and countries over which he holds sway, so the god is to be addressed as lord of those cities and temples, in which he is recognized and honored. Nebo is:
Lord of Ezida, protection of Borsippa.[1]
Marduk is:
Marduk, the mighty, who causeth Itura to rejoice;[2]
Lord of Isagila, help of Babylon, lover of Ezida.
Sin is:
Father Nannar, lord of Ur, chief of the gods,[3]
Father Nannar, lord of Egissirgal, chief of the gods.
